I walk through the front door and turn to my guard stationed just inside.
“Where is she?”
“With Matteo, Don.”
“How have things been here?”
“Quiet.”
“They haven’t caused trouble?”
“They have been quiet most of the day.”
“That isn’t a good sign.” I mutter.
I walk upstairs and nod to Luca outside Matteo’s door. I pause and listen.
“Come on. Say it again. Please?”
I hear Sofia begging. I feel a rage at her begging for someone else other than me burning in my chest.
“I thought you were here to keep my company and make me feel better. Not to torture me.”
“Come on, Matt. Just say it again. For me.”
I grit my teeth barely stopping myself from barging in and doing something stupid.
“You can be really annoying sometimes you know?”
“I know. I can get worse, but you can stop me by just saying it.”
“Fine. Dawg. There. Are you done making fun of me now? Can we get back to our game?”
“That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. Man, I love your accent.”
I hear Sofia giggling and it’s the last straw. A spike of jealousy flows through me as I open the door and step in.
“Bash. You’re back.”
Sofia is sitting on an arm chair pulled close to the bed. In between her and Matteo, there is a table with cards strewn about.
“I am.” I growl out.
“Don.” Matteo averts his eyes and attempts to get out of bed.
“Stay down, Matteo.”
He nods. “Forgive me for not being able to properly greet you.”
“I understand. You need to rest and get better so you can get back to work.”
“Of course, Don.”
“I sent a package to your Mother. She is being well taken care of in your absence.”
“Thank you. Your generosity knows no bounds. It is much appreciated.”
“Sofia, do you mind if I talk to you for a minute?”
“Sure. Guess you win this time, Matt. I will be back to finish our game.”
“I count on it.”
As soon as Sofia crosses the room, I lean down and capture her lips with mine. I don’t know why, but I had this sudden need to claim her as my own.
I pull back and smirk at Matteo, but he isn’t looking our way. He is actively avoiding looking in our direction.
“See you later, Matteo.”
He looks my way and all I see is respect in his eyes. Not even a hint of jealousy.
Good.
I pull Sofia out into the hall and turn left towards my room. Luca moves to follow but I wave him off.
“Why are we going to your room?”
I don’t answer. Instead I push her up against the wall in the hall outside my room and crush my lips to hers. She gasps at the unexpected intrusion, but quickly moves her lips with mine. Next thing I know, she is digging her nails into my shoulder while hiking one knee up onto my hip and grinding into me.
I trail kisses back to her ear.
“Did you like laughing with him? Spending time with him?”
She chuckles and it angers me more.
“You’re jealous. That’s cute.”
She attempts to kiss me again, but I fist my hand in her hair and pull her head against the wall.
“Jealousy has nothing to do with it. In the room, now.”
She looks like she wants to disobey, but her legs start to move before her mouth can catch up. Once she is in the room I close the door behind us.
“Now what, boss?”
I growl. There is something incredibly sexy about her submitting to me for once.
“Take your clothes off.”
As she begins to remove her clothes, I loosen my tie. Once she is standing in front of me naked, I give her a small smirk.
“Now come kneel before me.”
She doesn’t move right away, and I wonder for a moment whether or not she is going to do it. After a couple of moments, she walks towards me and kneels on the floor. I reach down and caress her face.
“Good girl.”
She bites her lip at my praise. I think she fights to be so independent and always in control that she needs someone else to take the reins for a while. She wants someone to dominate her.
She looks up at me from underneath her eye lashes. Looking at her sitting there is like looking at the picture of an angel. Her long, dark brown hair falls down her back and over her shoulders brushing her tits. Her plump lips are begging for attention. God damn she is everything a man could hope for.
“Unzip my pants and take my cock out.”
As she moves to unzip my pants, I feel myself harden further. The thoughts of what I am going to do to her, almost enough to make me come right there. I feel like a horny teenager seeing his first tit. Once my pants fall to my ankles, she pulls my boxers down as my cock springs free. At her intense glare, it jumps a little startling her.
She reaches towards it, but I stop her.
“Do you want to touch it?”
“Yes.”
“What else do you want to do?”
Her dark eyes flash with passion. My little angle is having dirty thoughts. Her face turns red as she ponders her answer. After a moment, she doesn’t respond.
“Tell me. What else do you want?”
“I want you to fuck me with it.”
“Don’t call it ‘it’, what do you want me to fuck you with?”
“Your cock.”
“Before that, Tesoro. Do you want to put your lips on it? Kiss it? Lick it?”
She gives me a sultry smile as she trails her hands down her body and pinches her nipples.
“I want to do all of that and more. I want to suck the tip into my mouth as I tongue the end. I want to let it sink into my mouth while my teeth lightly graze it just enough to feel good. Amazing even. I want to take you so deep that when I swallow you feel my throat constrict. Then, just when you think you are about to go crazy, I want you to fuck my face with wild abandon until you lose control.”
My throat goes dry. So dry that I have to clear it a couple times before I can respond.
“You are such a dirty girl. Show me how you would do it. Let me feel you.”
She leans forward and grabs my cock. She pumps it once, then twice, before taking the tip into her mouth just as she said she would. She tongues me as she works her way down my cock. She takes shallow sucks at first, but the first time she takes me deep I throw my head back against the door and moan. This woman is a sight to be seen.
I work both of my hands into her hair as she continues to suck. She reaches out with one hand to cup my balls while the other reaches down to play with her clit. The sight of her pleasing herself while pleasing me is intoxicating. Between that and the fast pace she has set, it almost sends me over the edge. I use my hands to slow her down as I begin to methodically fuck her face. Some shallow sucks intermixed with some deep ones.
After a couple of minutes, her hands go to my thighs as she braces herself. I start fucking her faster and with the wild abandon she requested. The telltale sign of tingling up my back warns me right before I jerk into her mouth and lose my load down her throat. She continues to suck until I stop all movements completely. She pulls back then gives the head a kiss before looking up at me.
“Fucking shit Sofia I haven’t come that hard in a real long time. Your mouth is bewitching.”
The smile and her face tells me she knows it too.
I hold a hand out for her and help her up before leading her to the bed.
“Time to return the favor.”
Sofia
I am quickly becoming addicted to Bash. That man knows his way around with his tongue. After I gave him my A++ game with my mouth, he returned the favor tenfold. I am still tingling from the sensations.
After our midafternoon a
ctivities were over, we called a meeting in the meeting room, where we are now. I glance over at Bash. He reaches over and places his hand on my upper thigh and I shiver. I see a smirk play over his face and know that he felt it and knows he is the cause.
“You wanted to meet your guards so here they are. Abramo will be assigned to Mia like he was before. Isabella, I have assigned Johnny to you, if you find him acceptable.”
She glances behind her at the body guard who has already taken his position to protect her.
“He seems kind of young. Is he experienced?”
He chuckles.
“I assure you his resume makes him quite qualified to protect you. Age withstanding.”
“Okay. I trust you well enough. When can I go home?”
“I just want to go over some ground rules first, then you may leave.”
She nods and motions for Bash to continue.
“Don’t try to lose your body guard. They are there for your protection. If you want to go somewhere, just ask them. They are not there to boss you around or make your life hard. They are there to make sure every situation is as safe as possible for you. With that being said, if they tell you no, consider that they are doing it because they want you safe.”
As everyone nods, he moves to the next item.
“Try to stay in Brooklyn as much as possible.” He turns to me. “I want you to stay in Brooklyn always. For you, it is even more dangerous outside the neighborhood.”
“Okay.” I whisper. I haven’t told him I want to stay with him yet.
“Lastly, if you see someone, say something. Seriously. I don’t care if it is a grandma on the corner that seems off. Say something to your body guards. We don’t know what we are up against right now. Ryan is FBI, but we don’t know who else he has working for him. With the resources from the FBI at his disposal, he could make himself, or anyone else, look different with just one call. Be on the lookout and trust your gut.”
“What about work?” Izzy asks.
“Right now, you are on vacation. I have paid all expenses for you for the time being. If you need money, just ask Johnny. He will get you anything you need. If you want to go back to work, do so at your own risk. They have already found you there once. That means it is not safe.”
She nods her agreement. I hope she decides to take the time off. I worry that she is so pigheaded that she is going to get herself killed. I don’t think I could forgive myself for that. I look to Mia. She has been quiet this whole meeting.
“Do you have any questions, Mia?”
I ask. She meets my eyes and she looks sad.
“No. I understand the situation.”
My answering sad smile tells her what I don’t say out loud.
“Any more questions?”
Bash squeezes my thigh once.
“Yeah.” I say.
He turns to me and I can tell he is in serious mode. That’s good, because I am too.
“When are you going to give me my gun back?”
“I’m not.”
My mouth drops open.
“It’s my gun. Why the hell can’t I have it back?”
“It was used in the commission of a crime. I got rid of it.”
“You did what? I bought that gun with my money and what crime? I was defending myself!”
“Yeah well if the authorities find it, they won’t feel the same way. With your connection to me and the fact the you didn’t report it to the police, they would arrest you and you would be in prison.”
“You told me from the beginning not to call the cops. Now you are saying I should have?”
“You misunderstand, Tesoro. They would use the fact that you didn’t call against you. I would never suggest you call the authorities. If you have trouble, you call me. Always.”
I roll my eyes at him. This was a temporary deal. In a couple of weeks, things would die down. Either that or Ryan would be caught. Then I would go on with my life while Bash lives his. We might cross paths, but I would never call him again. There would be no real reason to.
“Whatever you say, Don.” I mock him.
The pinch on my thigh reminds me I am supposed to watch my mouth around others. I mouth sorry to him, but he just winks at me.
“You girls are free to go now. Please don’t make my men’s lives harder.”
As everyone gets up, I turn to Bash.
“I am going to go upstairs with them then see them off. Then I would like to talk.”
He nods as he stands and leaves the room. I follow Izzy and Mia back to the shared room. All three body guards post outside the door as I watch them pack in silence. Neither one is looking at each other.
“How long are you guys going to let this go on?” I finally voice my frustrations.
Izzy turns and sits next to her bag on the bed and looks at Mia. Mia picks up her packed bag and goes to leave.
“Mia.” Izzy whispers. “Can we talk for a minute?”
Mia stops walking, but doesn’t turn. Izzy must take this as a sign to keep talking because she does.
“Mia, I am so sorry I made you feel like a child. I wasn’t trying to control your life. I could explain my reasons for doing what I did, but they would just be excuses. Truth is, I should have expressed how I felt then let you make the decision yourself. For that, I’m sorry.”
Mia stands there a couple moments before she turns and runs straight at Izzy and tackles her to the bed. Izzy squeals and all three guards run in, weapons drawn.
The girls freeze and I bust out laughing.
“Good to know you are good at your job.”
I pat Luca on the arm and he gives me a small smile.
“I have a feeling you are going to keep me on my toes.”
The other two men grunt an agreement.
“Oh, take a chill pill and wait in the hall. You are ruining a moment here.”
I wave my hands at them in a shoo motion and they all turn and leave.
“Way to call the cavalry, Iz.” Mia says as she sits up on the bed.
“You caught me by surprise. I can’t help my reaction.” She shrugs
“Are you guys good now?” I sit next to Mia on the bed.
“Yeah.” She squeezes both our hands. “We are good.”
“Good. Group hug!” I tackle both of them on the bed in a hug.
After making sure the girls got everything, I walked them out to the cars and waves my goodbyes. I am standing there, watching the cars leave when a pair of arms wraps around my middle from behind.
“Did you still want to talk, Tesoro? I could think of some better things we could be doing with our mouths instead.”
“You are such a horn dog. “
He squeezes me.
“Just for you.”
I cough into my hand and mutter ‘bullshit.’
His deep chuckle washes over me. When I first met him, I didn’t imagine the number of smiles he would give me or the amount of warmth I would feel from his laugh. I don’t know why we met that day, but I feel he was put in my path on purpose. Like some higher being decided I needed him in my life at this moment. I suppose with the whole Ryan thing I do, but my heart aches at the thought of losing him when this is all done.
Just for now works, but only if you let go of all your emotions. Unfortunately, mine seem to be sticking around for the show.
“Let’s go inside and talk. Maybe the den?”
He kisses my neck.
“Anywhere you want.”
I turn in his arms and press my lips to his lightly before pulling back and walking into the house. Once in the den, I sit on the love seat and pat for him to sit next to me. Once he takes his seat, he pulls me into his lap and nuzzles my neck. I giggle at the playfulness of it.
“What is it that is so important you just had to speak to me about?” He teases.
“I have two things I want to discuss.”
“Okay. What is it?”
“Number one. I want my gun back. If not my gun, at least a gun similar.
It makes me feel safer knowing I have a way to defend myself if it comes down to it.”
“Okay, but counter offer. I will get you a gun if you let me teach you how to use it properly. Lo said you did good with it, but that it was obvious you didn’t have any training. If you are going to own a weapon, you need to know how to use it.”
He is right. My dad let me shoot a bit when I was young, but I never really got into it. I never saw the need. Now I am kicking myself for not taking those lessons more seriously. A little help couldn’t hurt.
“Deal.”
“Good. What is the second thing?”
I take a deep breath and let it out.
“I need a favor.”
His hand reaches up and brushes my breast.
“What kind of favor? Please tell me it’s sexual. Those are my favorite kinds of favors.”
I frown at the thought of him doing sexual favors for other women, but push the thought out of my mind.
He isn’t yours.
I remind myself.
“Not that kind of favor, pervert. I was hoping you might let me stay here with you. Just until things settle. I don’t want to put Uncle Tony and Gina at risk and I have already put the girls through enough.”
I wince as I wait for his response. We agreed to keep this light and here I am asking to move in.
“Of course, Tesoro. It’s a weight off my mind knowing you are here, in the safest place you could possibly be. Of course, you might have to pay the toll.”
“Oh really? And how much will that cost?”
He gives me a devilish smile.
“Come back to my room and I will show you.”
Chapter Twelve
Sofia
I stretch slowly after spending another night in Bash’s bed. Little sleep to be had but my body deliciously sore. He brings out a side in me I didn’t know I had when it comes to sex. After getting out of bed and doing my business I grab one of his dress shirts and decide to put it on. I walk over to his dresser and contemplate putting on a pair of his sweats but decide against it.
Maybe if I go down in just this we can go another round.
I find him standing at the counter with his back to me drinking coffee. I walk up behind him and wrap my arms around him.
“Morning Tesoro sleep well?”
